Younis Khan made a golden duck in his first Sheffield Shield match for South Australia but his captain Graham Manou steadied the Redbacks, who made 313 against New South Wales. Stumps was called when the final wicket fell - the last four were picked off in the space of 14 balls - and Burt Cockley, the New South Wales fast bowler, will start the second innings on a hat-trick.

Manou and Aaron O'Brien led a strong recovery after South Australia looked a little shaky at 5 for 163. The pair put on 110 before Manou was trapped lbw by Grant Lambert for 80. O'Brien, playing his first four-day game against his former state, departed in the late collapse for 63.

Cockley, in only his second first-class match, rattled through the tail to finish with 3 for 37 - all caught behind - including Shaun Tait and Allan Wise with consecutive deliveries. He was not the first bowler on a hat-trick on the opening day; Dominic Thornely missed his chance after removing Daniel Harris (41) and Younis.

The first week in Adelaide has not augured well for the Pakistan batsman Younis, who was recruited to add experience to the middle order. He made 3 in his first one-day game on Wednesday and failed in his opening Sheffield Shield appearance when he tried to leave a Thornely delivery outside off, only to see it clip his glove on the way through to the wicketkeeper.

Michael Klinger, who has been a more successful signing for the Redbacks, made a solid 43 and Callum Ferguson chipped in with an aggressive 47. But both men fell to Nathan Hauritz, who was playing his first match at first-class level since last November.
